dylan Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 So the fun of this hobby in my opinion is the modding process....It can be frustrating...time consuming...but in the end its a labor of love...

babola Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Some great examples of Panerai replicas you've got there Dave. My collection is actualy very similar to yours :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Very nice group of projects. If you are going to use a double AR crystal on any PAM (since the gen are all single-sided) I would put it on the daylight. I don't think the 63 had AR as it is a C series but someone can correct me if I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylan Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 @bab: always wondered what your collection looked like.... @W: you're absolutely correct...but i'm a double AR junkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I would still go with the Daylight then. You don't know how the AR is going to interact with your cyclops and glue. I suspect Chief can tell you though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Very nice collections indeed, particularly that 002D feeling that alot. ST4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babola Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Having double A/R on Daylight wouldn't hurt, although a well done single A/R would be my pref. My 196 was originally from member 'lovepanerai' who's done most of the groundwork, including a single A/R by chieftang (suposedly, cannot confirm this as a fact). I like my Pams as 'basic' when it comes to A/R, single-side treated (D-series onwards)...when I'm after an A/R fix I strap on a Breitling :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylan Posted November 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 no breits for me at the moment Babs...well...for now i've decided to do: tcrown/lello dw/lume job on the 196 and 063.... need to find someone that does cyclops...
